Publish InfoPath form to SharePoint 2013
document library
The following article
demonstrates how to integrate an InfoPath form with a SharePoint form library,
using a centralized template stored in a SharePoint document library and linked
to a site Content Type. The form is set up to submit to a SharePoint form library.
InfoPath offers
options to enable you to create forms for collecting information from users or
displaying information from a data source. In this article I am going to
explain about creating a form as a SharePoint list, steps to get started, design,
setup, and publish an InfoPath form.
Assumed consideration:
- I am assuming that you
already have an InfoPath form ready and in this article, we will see how to
publish it on your SharePoint 2013 site.
Here are the details:-
1. Open your InfoPath form
2. Click on ‘File’
3. Select Publish
4. Select the SharePoint Server option
5. Type the URL of the SharePoint site (without
default.aspx)
6. Click on Next
7. Make sure the option ‘Enable this form to be
filled out by using a browser’
8. Select Form Library
9. If you already have a form library then please
select ‘Update’ option, otherwise select ‘create a new form library’
Click on add, select
next and finally click on Publish.
That’s it- You are
done.
Go back to your
SharePoint site and check the form library!
Some Common Issues& Online Resolutions:-
Error Message- the SOAP message cannot be parsed
Error Message- InfoPath cannot connect to the server. The server
may be offline, your computer might not be connected to the network, or
InfoPath Forms Services 2010 might not be enabled on the server. To fix this
problem, start by checking your network connection, and then trying again

content type in the document library is not based on the Form content type.
